CVEA Member Represents Washington at Language Advocacy Days
Suzanne Smith, Ridgeline High School educator and CVEA Secretary, has been asked to represent the Washington Association of Foreign Language Teachers at Language Advocacy Days in Washington, DC.
​
Language Advocacy Days brings together language educators from across the country for two days of connection, action, and impact. Advocates from every state gather with a shared goal: ensuring all students in America have access to high-quality language education.
​
During her visit, participants take part in a policy summit and meet with members of Congress on Capitol Hill to advocate for world language programs and language learning opportunities nationwide.
CVEA is proud to recognize Suzanne for representing both her profession and our local educators at the national level.

Central Valley High School AP Government Students Host Representative Michael Baumgartner
Today was a memorable day at Central Valley High School! Our AP Government and Politics students had the honor of hosting 5th District Representative Michael Baumgartner.
Over the years, our classes have welcomed many elected officials, but Representative Baumgartner stood out with his engaging approach and candid discussions. He took every student question—some tough, some thought-provoking—head-on, without dodging a single one. His honesty and willingness to share his perspectives provided our students with a firsthand look at civil discourse in action.
In our Social Studies department, we continually emphasize the importance of respectful and open conversations about government and policy. Today’s discussion wasn’t about party lines or political divisions—it was about understanding how our government operates (and sometimes doesn’t). Representative Baumgartner exemplified this principle, making a lasting impact on our students.
A big thank you to Representative Baumgartner for taking the time to visit and engage with our future leaders! #GOBEARS
